Calling Jarred?

The Mini Primes use a Mini PL mount... basically a scaled down version of a PL mount. This is different than the RED PRIME mount, which has a much larger image circle to accommodate full frame sensors.

And I cant wait for you guys to see the optics on the mini-primes... Well over 100 lines of resolution, Distortion incredibly low, Chromatic and Spherical Aberration is virtually absent. We spent alot of time on these little guys..

CALLING JARRED! Is there any info on how many you will make/release and whther there is a waitlist?:willy_nilly:

so tempted to just wait and save a few grand to buy a scarlet 2/3" with mini primes rather than going with the fixed :)

I thought the interchangeable Scarlet was cheaper? (I mean just the body).

I cringe when I see the 2 month window. How close will we be to hitting in this mark? I already automatically added 2 more months on to that before I figured I may have one in my hands. Is this an accurate assumption?

i wouldnt panic just yet it said may-june thats 6 months at least add to that any extra time for problems and then some more to let the red owners get theres first it could be a while.

Am the only person that said???? what goes in item 21.?

21. Something very Interesting goes here...??????

So what is the very interesting thing?
Click to expand...

I'm unsure whether it was part of the planning, that at this point in the list something really important should go here. I can picture Jarred or Jim planning the list. Its not just thrown together in any old order... Ha!!

Then again it could be something super special...like the ability to overlay images for frame matching etc...

[I will shut up about that one day!!!]

Of course, but we have managed to deal with that issue quite well for years now. As long as the camera is ready to start recording within a few seconds of changing the battery pretty much anyone can plan ahead enough to find a 10 second break in the action.

I find that the noise, camera shaking and talent distraction factor makes any hot-swap battery system not very useful.

Give us instant boot times and you can spend your time engineering other more useful features!

That is funny.. glad to hear it works out for someone out there! for some reason my experience is battery change time always happens at exactly the worst moment :)

At any rate... boot up time is mere seconds..... and we do have a sleep mode that is even quicker. Not instant, but not too far off of your Nikon or Canon.

Forgive my ignore here - 1, are the Mini Primes electronically-controlled, and 2, is the Mini PL mount a separate Electronic mount than listed on today's post? (RED/Nikon/Canon for $500/ea). Thanks! Looking forward to seeing some footage! I can't tell you how excited I am over all your guy's hard work :)

Edit: Ah, just saw the line "New digital design...REDmini Mount". Safe to assume that the REDmini Mount is a $500 Electronically-controlled Mini PL-mount?
 
The fixed 2/3 looks like a great deal. I am a little more confused on what to get.

I really hope May/June is a go.

Those details we will sort out as we get close... there is still lots of time and since the machines are already moving, we should have built up a good amount of stock by the time Scarlets start shipping.

Heh heh previous scene frame overlay is in Epic :)

#21 is much more special than that... :coolgleamA:

Not electronically controlled.. the Mini Prime Lenses ( and mount ) are manually controlled. The Digital Design refers to the optical design being designed and optimized specifically for our digital sensor and it's pixel pitch and OLPF combination.

That is so good ass news...although I note by the lack of the words 'Scarlet' next to EPIC means it not a feature in the Scarlet...ah well no biggy, for the big FX stuff I will be using an EPIC anyway.

So #21 really is something special (not just a coffee ring around the hardcopy) - Mind you RED don't do analogue its all digital so i'm guessing RED is paperless!!!

If not you better come up with something pretty dang special now.

Lenses and follow focus...

Lenses and follow focus...

Hi Jarred and Red Team...

How good is the fixed 8X lens to be used with a follow focus?
The fixed lens is f2.8?

Do the mini red primes breathe? Have you tested with a follow focus?

Thanks
 
My last film was shot on 16mm and the just the digital transfer to DVCAM cost me $4,100. At no time am I going to bitch about the Fixed 8X price. It is a bargain people. Welcome to the reel world. I'm happy to be dropping film cost and lab bills from my work flow but that is just me. As I do model FX work I'm looking forward to shooting at 120-150 FPS without worrying about how much film we are burning each take!

RE:It would be cool if there was a starter bundle for those of us who would want an interchangeable as opposed to fixed

I think that is called the $2750 Brain only : ) and build as you go...
 
jchema said:
What does the lens on the fixed scarlet stop down to? Also are the zoom and focus manual or servo controlled?
Click to expand...


i was also wondering this?
 
What is "Touch Focus Tracking" and how does it compare w/ auto focus? Thanks much.
